Tasmania does Christmas properly — with green hills that glow in the sun, soft coastal breezes and some of the most charming real fir and Radiata Pine Christmas tree farms in Australia. Whether you’re searching for a pick-your-own Christmas tree near Hobart, a family day out wandering rows of deep-green branches, or a new seasonal ritual to claim as your own, Tasmania’s growers set the scene beautifully.

From Richmond to the Lalla Valley, you’ll find thoughtful growers, open paddocks and real Christmas trees of every stature ready to anchor your celebrations at home. Here’s where to discover the island’s finest firs.

When do Christmas tree farms open in Tasmania?

Most Tasmanian Christmas tree farms open in late November or early December, with peak picking running through mid-December. Some require bookings.

Can you pick your own Christmas tree in Tasmania?

Yes. Farms in Richmond, the Coal Valley, Lalla Valley and Glengarry all offer pick-your-own Christmas trees, allowing visitors to choose directly from the paddocks.

The Best Christmas Tree Farms in Tasmania:

Richmond Christmas Tree Farm

Richmond Christmas Tree Farm brings a welcome sense of December tactility. The trees aren’t produced to mirror one another; each carries its own stance and quiet individuality, which makes the choosing feel instinctive rather than methodical. Families move through the rows with an easy cadence, supported by a team who know their land as deeply as their crop. Their post-Christmas mulching program keeps the season thoughtful, turning every retired branch into something gently restorative.

Coal Valley Christmas Trees

Coal Valley Christmas Trees offers a more streamlined approach to tree hunting, thanks to its ticketed system that keeps the paddocks pleasantly open. The surrounding valley gives every visit a gentle sense of grandeur, while the range of heights invites both modest decorators and go-big stylists to claim their moment. The atmosphere is relaxed, the selection broad, and the whole experience runs with an ease that feels delightfully rare in December. It’s organisation dressed up as holiday joy.

Christmas Trees of Tasmania (Lalla Valley Farm)

Lalla Valley Farm is shaped by growers who value precision over speed. Their trees show it — each one pruned with a steady hand and an eye for balance. The property itself is intimate, encouraging visitors to wander without rush and to choose a fir that speaks to their own sense of the season. Bookings keep the experience spacious, while the setting offers a little mental exhale. For Launceston locals, it’s Christmas shopping that feels unusually grounding.

Killiecrankie Farm Christmas Trees

Killiecrankie Farm adds a lively sweep of country charm to the month, with trees grown alongside wildlife corridors and pastures rather than tidy monoculture. It’s a working farm first, which gives every visit a pleasing sense of authenticity. Farm-gate passes keep visitor traffic steady, while their thoughtful mulching program ensures the holidays end responsibly. You might arrive searching for a tree, but you leave feeling as though you’ve supported a place with purpose stitched into every corner.

228 Glengarry Road, Glengarry

Tasmania’s Christmas tree farms deliver something special: growers who care for their land, trees shaped with intention and days out that invite families to slow down and savour the season. Whether you visit Richmond, the Coal Valley, Lalla or Glengarry, each farm offers its own take on choosing a real, freshly cut Christmas tree. When December arrives, there’s no lovelier way to begin the celebrations than with a Tasmanian fir straight from the farm.
